The Cincinnati Kolping Bourbon Club is proud to host the First Annual Geistertreffen: Cincinnati Bourbon Fest 2026!

In keeping with the German heritage of the Cincinnati Kolping Society, we are gathering for a "Geistertreffen"... which is a meeting of spirits. What better way to celebrate spirits than with Bourbon!

The Cincinnati Bourbon Fest 2026 is a chance to get together with friends and family, have fun and enjoy some great Bourbon! Taste Bourbons from multiple distilleries and engage with distillery reps. Learn about their Bourbons and what they have in their hoppers!
